Bestselling author R.L. Stine is best known for Goosebumps and Fear Street, which combined have sold over 400 million copies worldwide. At age 71, Stine shows no signs of slowing down as he continues churning out new Goosebumps and Fear Street novels, and has multiple film projects in just this year alone. Before the highly anticipated Goosebumps movie (finally) hits theaters next month, Stine presents horror fans with an …

Bailee Madison is no stranger to the horror genre. The 18 year-old actress has fought off monsters in Don’t be Afraid of the Dark, ran from creepy dolls in R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour, and has rocked the cradle with Adam Green in Holliston. Now, Madison faces her biggest challenge yet: The Strangers. She stars as Kinsey in the The …

Paul Soter is mostly known for his slapstick comedy with Broken Lizard, so it was a surprise to see the comedian turn to horror for his latest movie Dark Circles. Soter stepped behind the director’s chair for a second time with a movie that follows the struggles of sleep-deprived new parents. Soter spoke with me about his personal story that …

Stories that are told from the monster’s perspective are a rarity in the horror genre and ones that are funny are even harder to come by; however, thanks to urban fantasy author Jesse Petersen, that is about to change. The author’s newest publication Club Monstrosity, which will release April 29, follows a group of monsters who are living in the …

If only Rick and Lori knew how to work through their marital problems and let the zombie apocalypse be their guide, their marriage (and Lori) may have actually survived.

I recently had to write a paper (I’m in grad school now, woot woot!) and Rue Morgue’s Monica S. Kuebler was kind enough to answer a few questions for me–around her busiest time of the year–Halloween. The topic of my paper is obviously horror-related, which is why I decided to post it for all of you to read. Enjoy! When …

It seems like nowadays everyone is writing comics and going on to becoming successful artists within the entertainment industry. There are so many different works of art to choose from and there are even more popping up in the horror genre. Although not officially published, comic artist and writer, Will Penny, of Sex and Monsters has created a fun and …

I don’t know who decided that Zombies were cool–but whoever it was, I’d like to have their babies. There can never be enough of zombies and there are so many different takes on the subgenre, it can be overwhelming. On the comic front, The Walking Dead is clearly one of the most popular zombie-horror comics, mostly due to its real-life drama mixed …

When you’re young, it can sometimes be difficult to be taken seriously. Adults within certain industries may look down upon you and assume that you have nothing to offer. In my opinion, the younger you are, the fresher your ideas are. One area that seems to embrace youth is Hollywood and young filmmakers are on the verge of taking over. …

There’s nothing more likeable than a guy who gives back to his fans.
